Do you eat dessert, cake, sweets every day?

[Morning Glory]

We tend to get less recipes or posts about desserts, cakes and sweets. Maybe its because we all generally prefer savoury foods? I know that I do.

Funny, I was just thinking about this today, because I was looking for something sweet after lunch (settled on a piece of chocolate-covered caramel).

Maybe we have less recipes for sweets because those are easily purchased ready-made? It’s a lot easier to purchase a chocolate cake in the same way a lot of people find it easier (and more economical) to purchase a rotisserie chicken.

There are a fair number of recipes in the Sweets & Desserts area, though.

Yes everyday. But it doesn’t have to be cake. Could be a small biscuit with tea, a small piece of chocolate, etc..not a big piece of cake. I sometimes have a fruit before I settle with a piece of biscuit and tea.

We've taken to having a single boiled sweet after our evening meal. It stops my OH's I want something sweet attempts... I use it to get rid of the salt taste after nebulising (as you all know i hate salt, and nebulising a 7% saline solution is horrible).

I'll confess that I sometimes have a very small piece of vegan caramel chocolate mid morning as well. It gets me from 6am through to lunch at 12:30pm

Fruit is not counted unless its stewed in sugar or covered in cream!

That hardly counts. Boiled sweets are good in moderation as they last a long time in the mouth and each sweet (candy) is usually only around 25 cals. You just have to stick to one and clean your teeth afterwards!

Craig does, usually some purchased cookies, sometimes candy. I don't, maybe a couple pieces of chocolate 2 or 3 times a week, but I have a glass of Amaretto pretty much every night before bed, so I guess that counts as my sweet. I bake something occasionally, recently a 6 inch ricotta/cream cheese cake to use up the last of the 3 pound container of ricotta we got at the bulk store.

Simpkins all natural.... their butterscotch flavour is vegan and not desperately sweet! Our chemist sells them.

I had some little Belgian almond biscuits for my nighttime treat.

Muffins, cakes, pies, cookies, chocolates, sweets, etc. are not my thing. I'll take a bite of someone's cookies or pie that they bring on Thanksgiving and Christmas to be polite, but that's about it. I almost never take a bite of that stuff outside of that. Once a year, I'll have a few pieces of a Hershey's Golden Almond bar, which are made right here where I live. I buy them every Christmas from Chocolate World to send to out-of-state family members.

Even in dinner recipes that call for sugar, I'll either completely omit or greatly reduce whatever is called for. That includes smoked meats. So many BBQ recipes rely on sweet rubs and sauces, which ruin it for me.

Chocolate, or maybe ice cream. Only in the past couple of years.
We rarely make desserts, although I do try to provide my voracious son with chocolate cake, brownies, banana bread, etc.

 

[Windigo]

Every day , but I make my own. And my daily intake is limited to afternoon tea, and usually something like wholegrain banana bread or other less calorie dense options.

Hardly ever
Like Gone Hiking , sometimes just to be polite, and I do the same thing with sugar in recipes.

I do like a nice cake, sweet or dessert but not every day. OH is like badjak and others who do not care at all for sweet things so I rarely make and we rarely buy other than a bit of fave chocolate once in a while. And of course there's the factor and consensus of added sugar being unhealthy.
